This unit does not draw as much mositure or cover as much square footage as it claims. I have had several large capacity dehumidifers in the past with no problems. This one can not lower the humidity in my basement beyond 59%. Continuously runs but humidity level never changes.

Blends in our Rec. room without looking obtrusive.

Our other dehumidifier was so noisy we had to shut it off at night so we could sleep. Now, we can watch TV in our Rec room while the DH is running. I love having a remote, too.

This dehumidifier start producing water when you put the % of humidity between 30 and 35. During the 2 weeks that I had it, the % of humidity was working at 60% and was not making any water, so a friend told me to lower the % to 35 and BINGO, the next morning I had water from the humidity. But nobody from the technical support told me this. They thought that the equipment was not working correctly and gave me the solution to change it. So, now it's working very good. Thanks.

Our biggest disappointment is that the unit is made in China (it seems most, but not all, dehumidifiers are), as we'd much rather buy American-made products.

Answer:

Hi Lily,
I just moved, so mine is still in storage, & can't be looked at right now. The instruction manual is self explanatory. I do remember that setting the humidity target percentage at lower than 40% makes the unit work harder as it can experience coil freeze-up, (a temporary condition quickly remedied by shut-off when used in above-freezing conditions.) Mine always worked without freeze-up when set at 40% humidity. Hope that shed some light.

I usually set the fan on low and adjust the Humidistat until it feels comfortable.

Answer:

When looking at the unit the first display on your left is, "humidity/current humidity display." The second display located on the right is, "current temp/timer set display." Provided is a link to the manufacturer's instructions manual, http://cache.air-n-water.com/manuals/danby-ddr5009ree.pdf

Answer:

I use the low fan setting, and set the humidity percentage level at 35%. Also, be sure to clean the air filter weekly or bi-weekly, as a dusty filter will cause the unit to run hotter & less efficiently. Hope this helps!
